Haha. Took me a second since anesthesiologists in the Nordics generelly do not stay in the room, but keep 2-3 rooms going and have specialist nurses for monitoring.
Oh interesting, so you’re only in the room for induction and reversal/extubation?
I trained in Canada where the anesthesiologist stays in the room for the whole case, I joke around with my anesthesia friends that 95% of their day job is playing sudoku or trading stocks haha.
Not sure if the Canadian system is evidence-based or political given what’s happened in the US.
My understanding is the Nordic systems are public? Curious your thoughts as to whether keeping an anesthesiologist in the room for the entire case is inefficient / wasted resources or there is a real safety benefit.
